I had my surgery done on February 12, 2014 and lately I've been just laying in bed at night freaking myself out about all the scenarios of only having half a stomach""" there is no logic to this I know but the mind is a very powerful thing I worry when I step on the scale and it don't go down ""I think oh no it's not working for me anymore "" and I worry if it goes down thinking ""oh know I won't be able to stop this weight loss and I'm going to look like an stick figure this is a no win for me !!!

I wonder if I'm the only one that's going thru this ??

I haven't yet but I understand where you are coming from, I am down 70 lbs in 3 months and that is just insane to me in my head...I know it won't stay that awesome but it does make you think about what will I look like in 3 more months...or 6!! ha ha I am sure you are doing great!

I never thought I would lose, 65-70 lbs , yet even now 100something weeks out, I still look in the mirror and think if I eat this or that , I'll blow up like the blueberry on Willy Wonka. we must remember we didn't gain the weight overnight or even loose it. One bad day , will be ok, but if you get into the old habit of tomorrow, tomorrow, that day might not ever come! Stay strong, it does get better. that's why we lost the weight to enjoy life, instead of worrying about it !

Your fine. Although im only 7 weeks in and 79 lbs down. You really need to start realizing that your in it for life. Slow and steady is as good as extremely fast weightloss. Actually when you think about it slower is better. You give your skin time to catch up and shrink. Sleever can expect .5 lbs to 1lbs per day lost. Changing routines is always good keeps the body guessing. Liquid calories are your enemy. I have stalled 3 times... bad. Each stall lasted about a week. I feel your pain I just want to get to goal so I can finally change my wardrobe.

Yeah I'm down 95 lbs since 2/12/14and pants size from size 42 to size 32 and I've been working out with weights and running 3 miles and swimming laps almost every day I don't have any lose skin so from that that aspect I'm doing great , and I know that I'm doing great I look great and feel great I do not have to take any meds any more and that's the best part !! But my mind won't stop racing and I can't stop scaring my self with "what ifs ". Ugh !! Why !!

You are doing great!! wow!! I can't wait to say I am down 95 lbs!!
